Transplantation material bovine pericardium: biomechanical and immunogenic …

Fixed pericardial tissue is commonly used for commercially available xenograft valve
implants, and has proven durability, but lacks the capability to remodel and grow …

Bovine pericardium has been extensively applied as the biomaterial for artificial heart valves
and may potentially be used as a scaffold for tissue-engineered heart valves after …

Objective: The objective was to analyze the decellularization process with SDS in
glutaraldehydepreserved bovine pericardium as an anticalcification method in a circulatory …

Methods: Bovine pericardium (BP) underwent stan-dard (Std) decellularization consisting of
hypotonic lysis and treatment with DNAse/RNAse. In addition to Std decellularization …

Animal‐derived pericardium is the elective tissue employed in manufacturing heart valve
prostheses. The preparation of this tissue for biological valve production consists of fixation …

Glutaraldehyde (GA)-fixed bovine pericardial patches remain the cardiovascular industry
standard despite reports of degradation, thickening, inflammation, calcification and lack of …

Background The pericardial tissue is commonly used to produce bio-prosthetic cardiac
valves and patches in cardiac surgery. The procedures adopted to prepare this tissue …
